History of North, Central Oregon

Wonderful room and service -- in spite of being a 120 year-old property. The history of the region and specifically of the hotel made this a wonderful excursion.

The room had a wonderful view of Mt. Hood. The room was historic and quaint. I had a shared bathroom, but it was clean and well maintained. All areas around the property were in great shape. The breakfast was simple and nutritious. The dining area and outside patio were super welcoming.

Beautiful, historic hotel with views of Mt Hood. Tiny town with a living history museum I was able to wander in the evening, but was unable to check out during open hours. A neat looking store/coffee shop down the street that I believe is closed Sundays. Of course, the day we were there. The hotel itself had a nice outdoor seating area, library, lobby and café. Food was great Off the beaten path, but worth the drive!

The "bones" of Dufur are a 1900 farming community, now close enough to The Dalles to attract a few commuters but not close enough to be the stereotypical bedroom. The downtown, and the Balch Hotel are surrounded by Wheat fields. The best part is the outstanding hospitality of the staff... and of the community generally.

Our stay was delightful! The staff was welcoming. We especially enjoy the breakfast; healthy and attractively server in an amazing beautifully restored elegant dining room. The Balch provides a restful elegant non- cookie cutter stay!

Stumbled on this place following a long drive. This place is spectacular. Very nicely restored. Built in 1907. Every detail including the furniture and decor is from the era. Great history! A view of Mt Hood. Breatfast was included. Can't say enough. Would definitely stay there again.
